Practice Information

My practice is intuitive based. I listen to the body's rhythm to move my hands to the areas most needed to be massaged. My technique is somewhat of an ironing out the wrinkles in the bodys muscles. I use Ayurvedic herbal organic oils. With my initial touch I use Cranio Sacral holds to calm the mind and relax the body. The Cranio Sacral techniques work with the facia of the body releasing adhesions. Then I do a deep relaxation massage. When the body is relaxed I will use deep tissue massage if there are tight areas of holding. I use hot stones when someones body is hurting, long term chronic fatique or fibromyalgia. The heat relaxes the muscles and relieves the pain. Over time and lifestyle changes the pain can be decreased significantly. I also do Ayurveda, using meditation, pranyama (deep breathing) techniques. During your treatment you will often be instructed to breathe at the beginning. The remainiing time is a quiet deeply relaxing experience. I also do 6 week 2 hour workshops. At the last session I serve a beautiful bouguet of delicious organic foods.

Bio:

My first profession was working as a Surgical Technician in local area hospitals. I was able to assist the surgeon during surgical procedures. I learned about the disease process and techniques to heal medicinally. I also was drawn to the stress factor involved in peoples lives. I practice meditation, EMPTY BOWL, by Dr. Vasant Lad. I have worked as a Licensed Massage Therapist for 6 years. I studied Ayurveda at Kripalu in Lenox, MA. I practice pulse diagnosis, food choices for the doshic imbalances in the body. I am married with several grandchildren and a Golden Retriever name Opus. Opus often stays at the center and enjoys meeting the clients and sitting in on treatments. I live in the woods in a log cabin using wood from our property to keep us warm during the winter months. I love gardening and cooking.
